City Villas

Great things: There are many great things about my apartment. I love being able to wash and dry my clothes in my apartment and not have to go to a laundry mat! I love having a backyard and to be able to go outside. Even though it is not very big, I wouldn't want to do without it. I love having an upstairs and downstairs. This really helps with the noise. If people are being loud next door downstairs and I go upstairs, I can't really hear them anymore. I love having a park like setting! … There are a lot of grassy areas, a basketball court and 2 pools, as well as a BBQ area. In addition, the inside and outside of the apartments have been recently remodeled, so it looks great inside and outside as well. I also love being close to so many great things. I can walk to The Block and I am also within a few miles of Disneyland, Angel Stadium and so much more!

Good and bad: They have security, but I feel like they could be much more active. For example, my neighbors are really loud sometimes and I wish the security could walk around and tell people to be quiet instead of me having to choose to put up with it or be the bad guy and complain. There is also a bit of a tagging problem, but they are usually very quick to paint over it...another reason it would be helpful to have security to walk around. I also like that it is kid friendly, although I think that a lot of parents need to keep a better eye on their kids, such as when kids are tagging, littering, or when they are out really late in the pool or at the basketball court past dark without any adult supervision.

Things I would like to see improved: It takes a realllllyyyy long time to get things fixed most of the time. There was one thing that I was waiting on for several months and have been waiting for something else to get fixed for several months now as well. They are both non-emergency situations, but a pain in the booty to deal with.

In general, I really like living here, but it could definitely stand to improve in a few ways. Read More
